Moon Landing

According to Oscar Kemps, Gabe Kaplan opened to 1,800 from under the gun, and the action folded to Darvin Moon, who three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. Kaplan made the call, and the flop fell {k-}{q-}{7-}.

Moon open-jammed for his remaining 55,000 chips, and Kaplan called him immediately. Moon's {a-}{k-} was in bad shape against Kaplan's {q-}{q-}, and the turn and river came {j-}, {4-} respectively.

Moon was eliminated, while Kaplan's stack rocketed over 100,000 chips.
